2005 S40 -I installed a DynoJet kit, Supertrapp with 14 discs, and a low restriction K&N air filter.
It feels faster to me than my previous bike (a 1990 883 Sportster with a jet kit (same size 40 mm carb) and a set of Python semi-baffeled pipes. During the course of my 14 year 30,000 mile ownership of the HD Sportster, I installed a 1200 cc kit-then the Sportster felt like it had more torque than my current Savage but the vibrations at 60+ mph killed any feelings of riding pleasure-the bike felt like a paint can shaker!
Sold it for a lot more than I paid for it, used the money to buy a 2005 Savage, did the mods as stated above plus handling mods (superbrace, performance fork springs, and rear shocks). I am happier now than I was with the Sportster back then. Why am I saying all this? My experience says to me that with the above set-up, I have a bike that is more fun to ride, more reliable, (the Sporty's 4-speed transmission, belt countershaft, top end and shifter mechanism broke or blew up on 4 separate occasions-all costly HD repairs), and a lot cheaper to buy, modify and own than the 1990 Sportster that I owned for 14 years.
The Supertrapp with the right set up is very nice-hope this helps. markrider
